Thanks to the generous help from this list, I now have a kernel SCSI sg
driver patch which provides for binary compatibility of 32 bit x86
applications on AMD64 kernels, when using struct sg_io_hdr with
write()/read() (the ioctl() method already worked).
The preliminary version is here (it still
Dear Mr. Kuhlmann,
I do not know about your scanner, but scanners do usually not cause
performance issues on the SCSI-bus. I would expect that the effect of this is
more than neglible - you wouldn't feel it. We still use that sparc linux
system with a SCSI scanner, and I have not noticed any

thanks much for your thoughts!

Let's not argue about semantics. While I don't doubt that xsane is a

Hello Henning,
Just to make one thing clear: Vuescan is NOT a SANE frontend. I.e. it
does not use any SANE backend. It's a completely independent program
with independent scanner drivers.
It just happens to use a part of the internal low level SANE code
(sanei_scsi).

Most annoying that it doesn't work with SCSI scanners on 64bit machines,
something a recompile would fix. Hence my recent question about write()
encapsulation in sanei_scsi.c (which no-one replied to :( ).
If somebody else needs such a special handling because of the
binary-only nature of

He doesn't want to recompile
for 64bit because the amount of money he makes from the Linux
version doesn't justify it.
Err... excuse me? I don't think the amount of money any of the SANE
developers makes from SANE development justifies any effort on this
behalf.

Hi Mr. Kuhlmann,
I was the one to bring up the issue with the SPARC workaround, the sane folks
helped me a lot to do the testing and find out that using the old interface
made everything work.
And, as a matter of fact, everything on SPARC64 is compiled 32 bit in the user
world. Only the kernel

I am aware of that, and I wasn't asking the sane developers for any
effort, unless you count brain-picking as effort.
